Apple WebCore is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may exploit this issue by enticing victims into visiting a malicious website.
The attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in an application using the affected framework (typically Safari). This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

The above request is treated as valid and results in:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept-Language: en
Foo: baa
Host: test
